This Act makes rules relative to contracts of tenancy of “small holdings” i.e. any parcel of land intended for cultivation or pasturage consisting of not less than one acre nor more than ten acres held under a contract of tenancy. The Act also makes provision for the establishment of Valuation Boards.The Act establishes conditions and criteria for tenancy contracts between landlords and tenants of agricultural small holdings. No crop-sharing clauses may be included in the tenancy contract. No contract of tenancy shall contain any term or condition whereby the landlord is entitled to reap or market any crop on behalf of the tenant but the landlord and tenant of any small holding may enter into a separate agreement for the reaping or marketing of any crop by the landlord on account of the tenant. Valuation Boards may, for their area of jurisdiction, establish valuations in respect of contracts or holdings.
